I usually have comics done a couple of weeks ahead of time, but when I get an idea for a strip to be inserted within the current week, I have to choose between letting the idea slide, or postponing a strip and making the comic during the week. As we approach the end, I’m increasingly reluctant to skip material, so I’m going to push the comic to Friday.

Truly, screen-capture or full motion video is among the most abusable of all media. ANYONE who EVER appears in any significant amount of film can be portrayed badly (and often are – especially if they are in politics, and MOST especially if they aren’t “approved” by the “proper” portions of the media… you know which party I’m talking about).

Not that this isn’t amazingly funny, mind you. I bow to your superior screen-capture fu.

Nearing the end? The way I see it, you’ve got 4 characters that have left the game who might want to come back after these guys finish the campaign. Since you’ve reintroduced merry and pippin as NPCs, you can still have the Sam and Frodo players come back and pick up their characters where they left off.

Gollum could either be the most annoying NPC ever, or he could be thrust upon some poor unsuspecting PC who is constantly anguished at having no weapons or equipment and no combat…thus all of gollums skulking and attempted PKing.

Could be funny, and there’s at least another 50 strips in there, screencap wise.

Hey, as long as you still view DMotR as a fun project and not an obligation everything should be fine. If it starts to be a thing that you have to put out on a certain day it will become too much like work.

My Current DM has made our world more in the Roman styles to avoid holy grail references. Unfortunately I know most of the Life of Brian as well. The first time I quoted (we were trying to unite to rival bands of freedom fighters against the Judean People’s front. I mean the Korsans) most people collapsed laughing at the fact that I’d found a loophole but that got shutdown too quickly.

I’m a year (or three) late on this, but you are (were) fulfilling your prediction of this webcomic becoming a gallery of Viggo Mortensen making funny faces and Monty python references. In the same strip no less!
